- catalog abstract "The purpose of this study was to examine social contexts of learning in bilingual classrooms. Researchers examined the perceptions of students, school faculty/staff, and parents to find what influences learning for bilingual students. The study was conducted in two waves, the first from 1981-1983 and the second from 1989-1991. Principal funding for this study was provided by the National Institute of Education. The first wave involved 265 mostly limited English speaking male and female students in the 2nd and 5th grades of eight elementary schools in three separate school districts from the San Francisco Bay area. One-hundred seventeen of the students were children of Mexican immigrants in predominantly Cantonese-speaking homes, 46 were children of Chinese immigrants in predominantly Cantonese-speaking homes, and the rest were mostly African-Americans living in predominantly English-speaking homes. Many of the parents and school staff for these children were also participants in the study. The second wave was a follow-up of the 117 Spanish-speaking students. School and administrative records were used to analyze students' schooling careers. Also, two Spanish-speaking graduated students interviewed people who knew the 40 subjects who were not otherwise accounted for in the second wave. Data are available at the Murray Center in paper, audiotape and videotape formats. Follow-up is not allowed.".
